Double galzing - no keys

[steve_serco]

Nightmare - I've just moved into a new house & the previous occupant has managed to lose the keys to the uPVC double-glazed units

Alas, no identifying manufacturers marks on the windows to indicate which company they came from.

I assume that if I drill the locks out I'll be able to open the windows. Pressumably I can then take the handles to a Window company to see if I can get replacements ?


Cheers, Steve

Steve if you can post a picture someone might recognise the handles

A locksmith will be able to identify the required keys and then source them for you.

I had exactly the same problem with our windows when we moved into our new house. I ended up having to saw off each of the offending handles with a junior hacksaw just to get at the securing screws so that I could remove them.

Luckily the handles only cost about £3 each
